Enhancing the high-rate performance of lithium-ion batteries is essential for applications requiring fast charge/discharge capabilities—such as UPS systems, telecom backup, energy storage, power tools, EVs, and marine propulsion.
EverExceed continuously optimizes materials, formulations, cell design, and electrochemical performance to deliver industry-leading high-rate lithium batteries.
Below are the key technical factors that determine and improve high-rate performance.
Material conductivity directly determines the high-rate capability of lithium-ion cells.
At 20°C, the electronic conductivity of common cathode materials varies greatly:
LCO: 5 × 10⁻⁸ S/cm
NCM111: 2.2 × 10⁻⁶ S/cm
NCM811: 4.1 × 10⁻³ S/cm
Ionic conductivity shows a similar trend:
LCO: 2.3 × 10⁻⁷ S/cm
NCM111: 3.2 × 10⁻⁶ S/cm
NCM532: 1.7 × 10⁻³ S/cm
NCM622: 3.4 × 10⁻³ S/cm
NCM811: 6.3 × 10⁻³ S/cm
As nickel content increases, both electronic and ionic conductivity improve significantly, enabling higher rate capability.
EverExceed integrates high-conductivity cathode materials and optimized carbon systems to ensure stable power output under high current loads.
High-rate performance relies not only on materials but also on the internal formulation design.
Inside an EverExceed lithium-ion battery, two conduction paths determine rate capability:
Ionic conduction: Li⁺ transport through electrolyte, electrode pores, and active material
Electronic conduction: Electron movement between particles and conductive networks
Through optimized conductive additives, binder systems, particle size distribution, and electrode coating processes, EverExceed enhances both ionic and electronic transport pathways to minimize polarization.
High-rate discharge generates significant heat.
If heat cannot be dissipated efficiently, temperature gradients will occur inside the cell, accelerating degradation and reducing cycle life.
Therefore, structural design is crucial.
EverExceed improves structural performance through:
Enhanced thermal pathways
Wider and lower-resistance tabs
Optimized electrode thickness
Reinforced internal mechanical layout
These improvements reduce internal temperature rise, enhance safety, and ensure consistent long-term cycle performance under high current operation.
The electrolyte works like a swimming pool through which lithium ions “swim” between electrodes.
Low ionic conductivity creates resistance that slows down ion movement and limits rate capability.
Most organic liquid or solid electrolytes still have relatively low ionic conductivity.
EverExceed enhances electrolyte performance by:
Using high-conductivity solvents and lithium salts
Designing additives that improve Li⁺ mobility
Applying temperature-stability enhancers to reduce ion transport resistance
Electrolyte optimization is a major factor behind EverExceed’s superior high-rate performance.
Internal resistance is a critical determinant of high-rate performance.
EverExceed reduces cell impedance by:
Adding conductive agents to the cathode material
Improving contact between active materials and current collectors
Optimizing conductive carbon types (carbon black, graphene, CNTs)
Enhancing binder distribution for better particle connectivity
Lower internal resistance means lower heat generation, higher power output, and more stable high-rate cycling.
By leveraging advanced materials, optimized formulations, refined structural design, high-performance electrolytes, and low-impedance engineering, EverExceed delivers lithium-ion batteries with outstanding high-rate capabilities, ideal for:
UPS and data center backup
Marine propulsion and onboard power systems
Industrial and commercial energy storage
Mobility and power tools
Renewable integration and peak shaving applications
